Democrats have to embrace the teacher mentality. Treat people like a student you love but want better for. Find something to affirm in their instinct/feeling, then say how you can help them move forward from that feeling. 1/🧵

Start all messaging with “You’re right (or kind or smart) to care about __ and I’m with you because __” Work towards toddler options. Give people two choice, maybe three for nuance. Build a relationship (common goal, task, bond) before asking people to do something. @jonfavs

Can we hire @Tim_Walz to do a traveling podcast/youtube series where he joins an average person for 48 hours of their life and then debriefs them in a podcast? When he needs a break, swap in another dem gov/senator/rep? @CrookedMedia @DNC @MSNBC @YouTube

Hey @CrookedMedia What about an incubator program for potential podcast hosts, influencer, etc that will lean explicitly or subtly left? Give seed money, training, and travel budget. Kind of like what @hankgreen @ComplexlyMedia does for smaller creators. @TVietor08 @jonfavs

At the end of the Olympics, they MUST give the Norwegian blondie a recipe for the chocolate muffins and make him sign an NDA. He’s earned it! 🇳🇴 #Olympics

I would love a Jessie Mei Li as Sophie #Bridgerton but also Anna Sawai or a Manny Jacinto could be really cool too #benophie

@educationlab Would you all report on changes that would allow already under pressure students the ability to make up any assignment under a 90? The stress they already have with high expectations. Now a district wants to say anything under a 90 is recoverable.

As society requires more “parenting” from schools, I think I’m realizing that it is fundamentally impossible for students to be taught those “parent” soft skills from the person that assesses their academic progress. 🧵

Teachers are asked to do more with supporting kids’ mental health, showing them unconditional positive regard, prompting them to try their best regardless of the grade, not compare themselves to others, etc. (All of these are wonderful things) But… 🧵

@CMTammyMorales I live in Beacon Hill and moved from TX in 2021. I have a hybrid and had to pay over $550 in car tabs largely because of my hybrid vehicle. However, I never get to charge my vehicle because they’re are so few safe/free places to charge. Can we get more stations?

Replying to @Canvas_by_Inst
@Canvas_by_Inst Can you please make it easier for students to tell that their teacher used a rubric and to then open the rubric? My students don’t realize that I used one and to open it. It’s a time agenda symbol in their grades folder. It has to be more obvious than that

@isfdn If HS requires the Eng classes to do 2 process papers a semester, should/could the school provide a substitute for one day to grade those papers? So each teacher gets two sub days per semester to do the grading during contract hours? Is this possible?

@IssaquahSchools Are parents in the district allowed to volunteer to work for/the with library staff to help genre-ify/update the libraries so they are more usable for more students?
